APPEAL BOND – EXEMPTION FROM
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia
Text
(A) Exemption: The Commonwealth of Virginia, or any political subdivision or any office or agent thereof, shall not be required, unless otherwise ordered by the Court, to post an appeal bond or other undertaking which includes security for the payment of costs on appeal. (B) Alternate to Appeal Bond: In lieu of any appeal bond, the parties may stipulate with respect to any agreement or undertaking. In lieu of any cost bond, the parties may stipulate with respect to any agreement or undertaking on the condition that the monies and properties of the Court are fully protected or prepaid. The prevailing party in the District Court should seriously consider this subdivision as, in the event of a reversal, the premium of any bond will be taxed as a part of the costs.
All such stipulations must be approved by the Court and filed in the record. 30
